Where She Belongs by Johnnie Alexander

About the Book

★★★★★

Shelby Kincaid is ready to move on from her
grief. With high hopes for the future, she longs to purchase her family's
ancestral homestead so she can raise her young daughters in the only place she
ever truly belonged. She plans to transform the abandoned house into the
perfect home of her memories. But she'll have her work cut out for her.

AJ Sullivan never wanted the homestead. Inherited
as a punishment from his grandfather, it has sat empty for fifteen years and
fallen into ruin. He's glad to finally unload it. But a clean break isn't
possible when he can't get the young widow Shelby off his mind.

Welcome to Misty Willow, a place that will have as
great a hold over the reader as it does over its inhabitants. With writing that
evokes a strong sense of place and personal history, Johnnie Alexander deftly
explores the ties that bind us to home – and the irresistible forces that draw
us to each other.

Picking
up a book by a new-to-me author is always a treat, and I thoroughly enjoyed
Johnnie Alexander’s Where She Belongs. With realistic characters, emotions,
and romance, as well as a touch of mystery, intrigue, and history, Alexander
tells a sweet, page-turning contemporary story. From start to finish, it’s a
great read that I could not put down, and I definitely look forward to reading
more from Johnnie Alexander in the future. Fans of contemporary fiction will
not be disappointed with Where She Belongs, and I highly recommend it.

Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of Where
She Belongs and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required
to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
